iv *1 TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

Now comes Jack Roady, Criminal District Attorney for Galveston County, Texas, and files this response to Relator/Sepeda's petition for writ of mandamus for the State of Texas.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Relator Antonio Sepeda filed Petitioner's Request for Expunction on January 6, 2014. See Attachment 1. Sepeda's expunction, case number 14CY0020, was set on the trial court's docket for a status conference on April 3, 2014, for a hearing on June 13, 2014, and for a check status on June 16, 2014. See Attachment 2. Although the trial court took the case under advisement, there was no ruling. See id.

On November 25, 2014, Sepeda filed Appellant's Restricted Notice of Appeal, assigned number 14-14-00946-CY. On January 8, 2015, this Court issued an opinion dismissing appeal number 14-14-00946-CV for want of jurisdiction without prejudice. See Ex parte Sepeda, 14-14-00946-CV, 2015 WL 122744, at *2 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] Jan. 8, 2015, no pet.) (not designated for publication). On March 20, 2015, an Order on Mandate for appeal number 14-14-00946-CV was issued.

On April 1, 2015, Sepeda filed a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to rule on his expunction petition in case number 14CV0020. On April 23, 2015, this Court sent an Abatement Order to Sepeda and to the trial court. On July 21, 2015, this Court sent an Order reinstating the mandamus proceeding. On July 22, 2015, the State filed an Original Answer and General Denial to Relator/Sepeda's expunction petition in case number 14CV0020. See Attachment 3. On August 12, 2015, the trial court signed an order denying Sepeda's petition for expunction. See Attachment 4.

SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

Antonio Sepeda petitioned this Court for a writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to rule on his expunction petition. Since he filed his writ, the trial court denied Sepeda's petition for expunction in case 14CVOO20. Because Sepeda has an alternate remedy at law, his writ of mandamus should be denied.

SOLE ISSUE

How is Sepeda entitled to mandamus relief when he can now appeal the final order denying his petition for expunction?

ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES

Sepeda petitioned this Court for a writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to rule on his expunction petition. Since he filed his writ, and at the behest of this Court, the trial court ruled on the expunction petition. Therefore, Sepeda's writ of mandamus should be denied. Sepeda is not entitled to mandamus relief because Ile can appeal tile trial court's order of denial.

Mandamus relief is available only to correct a clear abuse of discretion when there is no adequate remedy by appeal. See, e.g., Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833,839 (Tex. 1992); see also In re Moody Nat. Kirby Houston S, LLC, 412 S.W.3d 570, 571 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2013, no pet.). "Mandamus will not issue where there is 'a clear and adequate remedy at law, such as a normal appeal.'" Walker, 827 S.W.2d at 840 (quoting State v. Walker, 679 S.W.2d 484,485 (Tex. 1984».

In a final order, the trial court denied Sepeda's petition for expunction in 14CVOO20. See Attachment 4. Sepeda may appeal the trial court's denial of his petition for expunction. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) (The general rule, with a few mostly statutory exceptions, is that an appeal may be taken only from a final judgment.). Accordingly, mandamus relief is not appropriate in this proceeding because Sepeda has an adequate remedy by appeal. See Walker, 827 S.W.2d at 840. Therefore, this Court should deny his petition for writ of mandamus. See Moody Nat. Kirby Houston S, LLC, 412 S.W.3d at 571.

CONCLUSION AND PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State prays that the mandamus be denied.

Respectfully submitted,

EX PARTE § IN THE DISTRICT COURT

§ 212th JUDICIAL DISTRICT ANTONIO SEPEDA § GALVESTON COUNTY, TEXAS

ORIGINAL ANSWER & GENERAL DENIAL

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

COMES NOW, the Galveston County Criminal District Attorney, by and thrnugh the undersigned Assistant Criminal District Attorney, and files the following Answer and General Denial in response to Petitioner's Petition for Expunction of Records.

I, General Denial

The State of Texas denies each and every allegation and demands strict proof thereof. See Ex parte Jackson, 132 S.W.3d 713, 716 (Tex. App.-DaIJas 2004, no pet.).

II. Case background

Petitioner requests an expunction of MD297698, the charge of Terroristic Threat of a Family Member committed on October 11, 2009. See attachment 1 (Original Complaint). Petitioner's Terroristic Threat of a Family Member, MD297698, was one of the cases that made the basis of the Magistrate'S Emergency Protective Order signed on October 12, 2009. See attachment 2 (Magistrate's Emergency Protective Order). Petitioner pled guilty to violating said protective order and was sentenced to 8 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. See attachment 3 (Indictment and Jlldgment in lOCROO38).

The Petitioner now seeks to expunge from his records the very basis for which he is incarcerated. Petitioner's request should be denied.

In. As a prisoner, Petitioner has no absolute right to be present in a civil action Although Sepeda filed a Motion to Attend Hearing by Telephone Conference, as a

prisoner, he has no absolute right to be present in a civil action. See In re Z.L.T., 124 S.W.3d 163, 166 (Tex. 2003). In Sepeda's Motion to Attend, Sepeda does not give a required showing that his presence is necessary. To the contrary, he says, "should the court determine that his presence is required, petitioner request he be allowed to proceed by telephone conference call." An inmate's right to access the courts does not entail the right to personally appear for every proceeding. Ex parte Cephas, 410 S. W.3d 416, 421 (Tex.App.- Houston [14th Dist.} 2013, no pet.) Sepeda failed to make the required showing that his presence was necessary at any hearing. See Sepeda v. Slale, 14-14-00443·CV, 2015 WL 4366220, at "'5 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.} July 16, 2015, no. pet. h.).

lV. Petitioners expunction should be denied because Petitioner hasn't proven he has met all the statutory requirements

A person's entitlement to expunction arises only after all statutory conditions have been met. Ex parte S.C., 305 S.W.3d 258, 260 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.) 2009, no pet.). Because an expunction proceeding is civil, not criminal, in nature, it is the petitioner's burden to prove that all of the statutory requirements have been met, and when the petitioner fails to carry this burden, the expunction must be denied. See id.; see also Harris County Disl. Attorney's Office v. Hopson, 880 S.W.2d I, 3 (Tex. App.- Houston [14th Dist.) 1994, no writ). Petitioner has not proven that his case was dismissed for a statutorily approved reason or that the statute of limitations has expired. Petitioner'S assertions are not evidence.

V. There Is No Equitable Power to Extend the Statute

Expunction is neither a constitutional nor common-law right. but a statutory privilege. Tex. Dep't of Pub. Safety v. J.H.J., 274 S.W.3d 803. 806 (Tex. App. -Houston [14th Dist.] 2008. no pet.).

Texas courts have uniformly held that judges have no equitable power to grant expunctions because the right to an expunction is available only by meeting the requirements of the statute. E.g., S.C., 305 S.W.3d at 260; Herron v. State, 821 S.W.2d 329, 330 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1991, /10 pet.). The trial court has no equitable power to extend the protections of the expunction statute beyond its stated provisions. S. C., 305 S. W.3d at 260.

WHEREFORE having answered, the State of Texas prays that upon consideration of the above answer, the Court DENY any and all relief to Petitioner in the petition before the Court.
